Elokuvafestivaali: Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival 2025 Blogissa syvennyn eri teattereissa katsomiini esityksiin.

Taannoinen katsaukseni Tallinnan elokuvajuhlilta. Nostin tiiviiseen raporttiin kolme elokuvaa Baltian maista. Näistä kaksi ovat dokumentteja.

HÕFF-festivaalin piirretty juliste bussipysäkillä. Lapsi leikkaa veitsellä kakkua, jonka sisältä paljastuu on silmä.

Mart Sanderin kirjoja Jameson-kioskilla myynnissä. Sander itse mainosjulisteessa mainostaa Jameson-viskiä, lasia kohottaen.

Kaksi kirgisialaista naisnäyttelijää lavalla loppukiitosten aikaan. Puvut ovat ilmeisesti perinteisiä, historiallisia pukuja.
